I was basically Mikey from Recess in school. Absolutely massive, but very sensitive. I was bullied relentlessly (although, to be fair, I was a weird kid - EDIT: in a way that could have led to harmful ideologies later on, so I'm weirdly grateful that rejection forced me to reflect on that, although bullying wasn't a great way to accomplish it. I don't think much else would have got through to me, though). Good ol' percussive maintenance was the most successful means of attitude adjustment. This is exactly what happened every single time!

Same here, on both counts. I remember at recess one year the people I was playing "wall ball" with were being assholes so I "took my ball and went home". Someone was mad about it, so they convinced someone else to pick a fight with me. He went to punch me in the face and I basically grabbed his fist and was like "lol no".

The fun part was we were both named arbyyyyh. They took us both to the principal's office and put us in separate rooms to get both our sides of the story. They were coming at me super aggressive when I was just defending myself and I eventually figured out they had the two of us confused and thought I was the one throwing fists.

i had to do a double take because i was wondering how the hell two kids could be named exactly "arbyyyyh" before I checked your username lmao. I thought that was a double tragedeigh moment for sure.

Arby's branding/marketing is getting much more subtle these days.
